I want to address this statement in particular. The point of EDS is that it is, as the document states, flexible and simple. At its core, EDS is nothing more than an efficient way to store Euphoria objects on disk.
Ah, that explains a lot. Ok.

Other languages may offer this functionality, but hardly without the grace and simplicity (and low-level compression) of EDS (I'm thinking of Python's "pickling").
Well, it's simple enough for me:
import pickle
pickle.dump({"key": "value", "key2": "value2"}, open("mydata.dat", "wb+"))
value = pickle.load(open("mydata.dat", "rb"))
